I’ve had a crush on Jared Leto for ages, right about when he started out as an actor.  Of course, now he’s the frontman of Thirty Seconds to Mars. I can’t say he’s better looking now, but he’s still just as mysterious.

By the way, did you know he’s also into fashion? A couple of days ago, the rock star was spotted at the arrivals of Giles’ Spring 2014 presentation during London Fashion Week.

For the event, Jared kept it casual in all-black but made the outfit a little bit more interesting by wrapping a long leopard print scarf around his neck. Not a bad touch, if you ask me.

Wow.

If it were any other guy, I’d probably be making a big deal out of the fact that he’s got some animal print on. But on Jared, the “lady scarf” looks pretty cool; even cooler than Steven Tyler in that pink poncho!

Do you think your guy could pull off wearing something similar? Will he even entertain the thought? I know for a fact that my man won’t. He’s too square and traditional.

That said, I think it would take a certain kind of self-confidence (or a devil-may-care attitude) for a man to be willing to put on something very female-fashion-related such as animal print, and not care about what other people will think. Would you agree?

Now if your boyfriend or beaux is as cool as Jared, wouldn’t that be fun? You can actually share scarves with him like he’s your twin sister. Make him buy this piece from Lulla Collection by Bindya, and then borrow the extra when you feel like it!
